This is interesting: Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the guy believed to have produced the anti-Islam movie that apparently sparked the murder of a U.S. ambassador in Libya was a federal informant, The Smoking Gun reports.

Nakoula, 55, flipped and informed on Eiad Salameh, who was running a major check-fraud scheme, after he was arrested in connection with the fraud in 2009. Nakoula had been a runner in the scheme. The ring used stolen Social Security numbers and defrauded six banks of about $800,000.
